Remarkable Performances

[Juice]

Some actors have the ability to convince an audience that he/she was completely oblivious to the close proximity of a team of movie makers while 'acting' out a scene.

The following are performances I considerer to be remarkable (please be aware that some of the movie clips will contain spoilers):

I need to add:

Actor Edward Norton
Role: Aaron
Movie: Primal Fear

(He is one of my favorite actors. Other excellent roles include: Fight Club, American History X, The Italian Job)

Actor: Brad Pitt
Role: Mickey O'Neil (The pikey, best role for him I think)
Movie: Snatch

(Also another favorite, different roles yet perfect in each of them. Se7en, Fight Club, Inglorious Basterds, and just about every movie he has ever starred in)

Cookie!? Haven't seen the film, will try to get it somewhere.

Menace, of course Heath's performance will be added to my list. I'll continue to update the first post as I think of more masterful thespians.

TBlaar, the first time I ever saw Norton, was in Primal Fear. Wow. Haven't added Pitt because I can't decide between his role in Fight Club or Snatch. He was also pretty good in 12 Monkeys and Seven.
